My summer morning routine with medical grade skincare

[@karend4016]

Loved this ! There is something so soothing and calming about watching others doing their skincare routine.

[@theocbeautymd]

Thank you! And yes, I totally agree 🧖🏼‍♀️

[@29ansa]

I love how you explained the sticky on the sunscreen. The details your provide on these products is amazing 🤩

[@theocbeautymd]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jennifernettles3240]

Great video! Hopefully you review the new ZO AOX Illuminating cream when you get it♥️

[@michellecreeden9204]

Thank you for “covering” sunscreen quantity. Pun intended. The amount to apply has always been puzzling to me. Tone Smart and Flex are my favs! 🧘‍♀️☀️

[@theocbeautymd]

🤣 A girl after my own heart!

[@rickyhogan3761]

Wonderful video. I'm currently using the Obagi Nu-Derm system and love it along with tretinoin. Do you recommend ZO over Nu-Derm?

[@theocbeautymd]

Actually nu-derm is my favorite from the Obagi line. If it works, keep going!

[@emerc377]

Thanks for the great video! What is your opinion on ZO Brightalive vs Skinbetter Even tone for pigmentation such as freckles?

[@theocbeautymd]

I would say similar but I haven't really specifically compared for freckles.

[@mimimoon6082]

Excellent routine! Thanks for sharing Dr. Ania Marie! ❤️

[@theocbeautymd]

You're so welcome!

[@natashapiontkowski4023]

Loved this! Can you do an updated am/pm routine? Thanks!

[@theocbeautymd]

yes. soon!

[@lorifernandez1849]

Any thoughts on essence prior to nakeup application? I use SKll

[@semerahpadi4484]

I want to try medical grade products. The La Roche Posay is the closest to medical grade that I can f in d here 🤔

[@leannegornall917]

Hi, do you know if the Alto Defense Serum and Even tone serum from Skin better both safe to use during pregnancy? Thank you.

[@dianagurski]

Thank you for your videos! ❤️ 2 questions pls: do I need to use moisturizer after the alto advanced defense serum or it’s enough on its own? (want to use it in the morning, I was thinking about the refresh moisturizer by skinbetter cause I have the trio for night and it will be too heavy for me in the morning) And second question is the counting from the first, what do you think of the refresh moisturizer that is more light weight? Is it good for oilier skin type?

[@theocbeautymd]

I find the new Alto Advanced quite hydrating and enough in my regular routine. If Trio is heavy for you then I suspect the Alto Advanced will be enough. I agree Trio is heavier than the refresh hydrator.

[@dianagurski]

@@theocbeautymd thank you very much ❤️

[@gee_d8542]

Thanks for sharing. If I am also using the Alastin Nectar, which part of the am routine should it be?

[@theocbeautymd]

After Alto, before sunscreen

[@stephaniehaltom1620]

What do you think about Zo skin firming serum?

[@Gaga_Stars]

Hii i know i'm late to the party but the skin better serum sounds so promosing i realy need to know how much % vitamin c in it before buying? Also can we take a moment to talk about that glow 😻🌠

[@theocbeautymd]

It's so hard to talk about these things without disclosing too much proprietary info (which is not allowed). The vit C is an ester (THD), it's a very stable form of vit C. However I wouldn't necessarily think of Alto as a vitamin C serum as much as a comprehensive antioxidant serum with vit C. It has 19 natural antioxidants some of which are more potent than ascorbic acid. I think it's the best antioxidant serum on the market. The new alto advanced also has 2 DNA repair enzymes and stabilized arginine to increase circulation and help increase delivery of active ingredients. Skinbetter does not disclose concentrations but in a head to head study with a gold standard C E ferulic, Alto outperformed the CE ferulic

[@EadsB7002]

I’m noticing a little loss of elasticity on the skin in my neck. Would the techno neck cream help or do you think maybe be more consistent with micro needling?

[@theocbeautymd]

The best results would be combining SBS techno and Alastin neck cream (because of the trihex technology). Or you could alternate one and then the other. In terms of in office procedures, microneedling is a nice natural way to help strengthen the skin. You could also look into a resurfacing lasers. And the most dramatic changes are seen from injection of a filler called hyper dilute radiesse, so you could research that topic too! Good luck!

[@linapatel9652]

is skinbetter alto okay to use for acne prone skin?

[@leahtheestallion7687]

Do you ever refrigerate your skincare? I was thinking of buying the alto defense but curious as to whether I should refrigerate it

[@theocbeautymd]

I do refrigerate, eye masks, sometimes masks and eye serums but most of my skincare is room temp.

[@PinkCottonSandy]

Hi Dr. Ania Marie! I'm going to purchase the SkinBetter Vitamin C using your link. Should I purchase the new Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum or the original Alto Defense serum? I am 26 years old.

[@theocbeautymd]

Hi 🌸Thank you for supporting my channel!!! ❤Definitely the Advanced Alto. It is fantastic and does more for your skin, plus it's a better hydrator! 😘

[@PinkCottonSandy]

@@theocbeautymd Thank you so much for replying! I love your videos

[@emilygoodman6373]

Think birth control pills of long term cause melasma? I use zo skin health hq regimen etc. bit developed this in the last year. Been on borth control pill 10 years and wondering if that has caused it. If I get off, will it go away? Any feedback you have heard?

[@theocbeautymd]

Birth control can cause melasma. Hormonal changes like pregnancy can also cause melisma. In some people it will go away if they stop the birth control but it's impossible to say until you try it yourself.

[@munchnguyen9140]

Can u please tell me the name of the gold bottle you talking about? Thank you

[@theocbeautymd]

Alto Advanced by Skinbetter Science

[@robinmoonwilliams]

Do you typically put the sunscreen on your eyelids?

[@theocbeautymd]

never. My eyes would be itchy and watery. I normally put sunscreen on the brow bone.

How long have u been using skin better science

[@theocbeautymd]

2 years

[@Camerashy03]

Do your brows fade quickly due to exfoliating?

[@theocbeautymd]

No, I have been applying acids and tretinoin on my eyebrows and they are staying put, but I know they fade for some people. Maybe it depends on who does them and what pigment they use? I honestly don't know

[@Camerashy03]
